Reviews

"Populated by complicated characters who are so well described readers will feel they might bump into them on the street, Karim's second novel delivers on its title's promise." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"[W]hat sets this funny, dialogue-heavy read apart is its nuanced examination of identity... Fans of Sara Zarr and Jenny Han and readers of realistic fiction will enjoy this thoughtful, witty offering." -- School Library Journal

"Funny, fresh, and poignant, Karim's (Skunk Girl, 2009) novel is noteworthy for its authentic depiction of a Pakistani American teen coming of age and falling in love." -- Booklist

"This is a warm-hearted story that may encourage readers, like Shabnam, to find possibilities in greater human connections." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
